Winner of the Philadelphia Athenaeum Literary Award
In the Shadow of the Law is the story of Morgan Siler, a powerful Washington, D.C., law firm that has transformed itself from a traditional practice serving those most in need into a shrewd giant serving the interests of the wealthy. Through the intertwined stories of a pro bono murder case and a class action lawsuit brought against a large chemical company, we meet the fascinating, engaging, and conflicted characters that make up this world: Mark Clayton, the rookie; Walker Eliot, the prodigy; Katja Phillips, the idealist; and Harold Fineman, the brilliant and burned-out partner, leader of the chemical company's defense team. With a thorny and breathtakingly paced narrative, In the Shadow of the Law marks the arrival of a writer who "stakes a firm claim to the literary territory of Scott Turow" (The Times-Picayune, New Orleans).

From the Inside Flap:
"I recommend this book with real enthusiasm . . . Roosevelt’s gritty portrayal of the transformation of bright-eyed and colorful young associates into dim-eyed and gray middle-aged partners . . . rings true of all too many corporate law factories . . . Roosevelt knows the world of which he writes . . . he understands the culture of the law firm and takes us inside its gilded cage . . . an impressive first novel." –Alan M. Dershowitz, The New York Times Book Review
